Water is one of those things that you either love or you hate. Thankfully, we love it, and we try to find any excuse to get into the water. Whether it’s going to a water park, having a go at kayaking, white water rafting, tubing through the rainforest in a rubber ring or attempting a water obstacle course – we’ll try anything. But if you’re at a loose end of where to go next, check out these attractions that are perfect for water lovers.

Water tubing along the Rio Azul in Costa Rica

If you’ve ever been tubing in a water park – you’ll know it’s incredibly fun, but this activity takes the idea of tubing to the next level. When you go water tubing along the Rio Azul in Costa Rica, you’re taken through dense rainforest; round the twists and turns of the river, over calm water, and through rapid white water. It is one of the most peaceful, yet also one of the most adrenalin-fuelled water activities you could ever do. The monkeys and birds keep you company and the views are awesome.

Siam Park Waterpark, Tenerife

If you ever find yourself in the Canary Islands, then you have to visit the best waterpark in the world (three years in a row). Siam Park has everything a water lover could possibly want – from lazy rivers to an almost vertical drop through a shark tank, to a giant wave machine. The whole park is decked out in traditional Thai architecture and is chock-a-block filled with every kind of waterslide imaginable. When you need a little break, there’s even a man-made beach for you to chill out on.

White Water Rafting through the Grand Canyon

The Grand Canyon is a sight to behold, and many people choose to see it from the air in a helicopter tour, or above on its glass walkway. But there is another way to see it – up close and personal. White water rafting through the Grand Canyon is for the thrill seekers and the water lovers who love an adrenaline rush. From calm waters to white rapids and waterfalls, we can guarantee that you won’t come off the boat with dry clothing. Which is what every water lover wants.

Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon, Orlando Florida

The Walt Disney World resort is famous for its waterparks, and Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon is one of the most popular among its tourists. The park boasts rides for water lovers of all ages – so is the perfect location if you have little water babies! With kids rides, adult raft rides and it’s 6ft wave Surf Pool; you won’t run out of things to do. There’s even a shark tank for you to snorkel in if you’re feeling really brave.

Aqua Fun Inflatable Water Park, Dubai

If you’ve ever fancied yourself as a Ninja Warrior, then you have to visit the Aqua Fun Inflatable Water Park in Dubai. This inflatable obstacle course is the largest one in the world. Spanning 2,700 square feet, the course boasts slides, ramps, wiggle bridges, climbing walls and more. And the best part is – it doesn’t matter if you fall!
